ÒDoubtless
the principles educed twenty years ago were too negative, and now we
are ready, probably too ready, to extend the sanctions of genius very
widely once more. If my tentative
prognosis be correct, that we stand now at another change of phase in modern
architecture between a ÒhighÓ and a ÒlateÓ period, we
must expect many vagaries in reaction against the too literal interpretation of the
International Style.Ó
